Zinc Supplements

Boost Your Immune System with Zinc Supplements

A vital mineral for supporting your immune system, zinc supplements can aid your body in fighting common colds and keeping you feeling your best. As an immunity supplement, zinc aids the body in a number of ways:

• Activates enzymes to fight viruses and bacteria - a primary benefit of zinc is that it activates enzymes which then go on to break down proteins in viruses, making them less likely to spread.
• Reduces oxidative stress - oxidative stress in the body can lead to inflammation and chronic illness. Zinc supplements are good for reducing oxidative stress, boosting your wellbeing.
• Aids wound healing - wounds, including cuts and scrapes, can allow bacteria to enter your body. Ensuring you have the right zinc levels can support every stage of wound healing. From membrane repair, to scar formation, zinc supplements are involved at every step.

Each role of this essential mineral is only possible when you’re not suffering from a zinc deficiency. Fighting low amounts of zinc in the body can be done by taking a daily zinc supplement, designed to give you the optimum levels of the nutrient.
